Hi Rob,
you can use either the status or the title of the page to communicate
with lingo.. I've used the same trick before with the webbrowser
control. But as the status text dispays all kind of status information
and therefor changes all the time, I would suggest you use the title.
Here is some code to notify lingo when the user has pressed the
submit-button inside the WebXtra-Sprite:
1. setting the html-code for WebXtra-Sprite:
s=sprite(1)
s.html = "<html><body><form
onsubmit=""E&"document.title='_submit';return false""E&"><input
type=submit></form></body></html>"
2. behaviour attached to WebXtra-Sprite:
on titleChange me, newText
if newText="_submit" then
alert("SUBMIT-BUTTON PRESSED!")
end if
end
